From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Nations Mission to support the Hudaydah Agreement (Arabic: بعثة الأمم المتحدة لدعم اتفاق الحُديدة, romanized: Baʿthat al-Umam al-Muttaḥida li-Daʿm Ittifāq al-Ḥudayda; UNMHA, أونمها) is a civil observer mission initiated by the United Nations in Yemen. On 22 December 2018, retired Dutch General Patrick Cammaert began leading the mission.[1] The mission consists of civic authorities personnel, military personnel, and police. The headquarters of the UNMHA is at Al-Hudaydah, located on the west coast of Yemen. The UNMHA mandate is between the Yemeni government and the Houthis.[2][3][4][5] On 17 January 2019, Cammaert's convoy was reported to have been fired upon by unknown assailants, though Cammaert remained uninjured.[6] On 31 January 2019, he was replaced by Danish Major General Michael Lollesgaard.[7] Retired Major General Michael Beary, from Ireland, is the current leader of the UNMHA mission.[8]
